When conditions drop it is usually a mix of low ceilings (under 1,000 ft under 1% of hours) and low visibility (under 3 miles under 1%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 22 had the best headwind 45% of the time, runway 11 28%, and winds were calm 22% of hours. Winds most often blow from the southwest. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in 1% of hours.
Thunderstorms were reported on about 34 days a year. 82% of storm hours fall in July, August and September, peaking in August when storms were in the air 2% of the time.
Snow fell on about 11 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 0. From December to February KINW was IFR or worse 2% of the time, against under 1% from June to August.
